Cognitive Computation - Call for Papers: Cognitive Analysis for Humans and AI

Aim and Motivation:


The evolution of AI has profoundly shaped cognitive analysis, with a myriad of computational techniques emerging to discover cognitive patterns. Tools for sentiment, personality, psychology and concept analysis (e.g., SenticNet and MetaPro), and more have become pivotal in examining cognitive dynamics across diverse domains. The advent of cutting-edge generative AI techniques (e.g., ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion) has further showcased human-like capabilities in language and vision processing tasks. The understanding of these AI techniques not only empowers humans to optimize AI usage but also guards against potential risks associated with the integration of advanced technologies into various facets of our lives. While the landscape is adorned with numerous cognitive computation tools, the exploration of how to leverage these tools optimally and ethically for yielding profound insights in diverse domains and across varied research subjects remains an underexplored frontier.

This Special Issue is motivated by illuminating this critical gap and fostering collaboration between the AI and cognitive science communities. By soliciting high-quality research contributions, we seek to delve into the untapped potential of state-of-the-art cognitive computational methods. Our aspiration is to inspire the innovative applications of computational methods that generate significant cognitive findings, enriching both human understanding and the capabilities of future trustworthy AI systems.
